With video game graphics having hit a plateau, emphasis has to be made on showing the minute differences that are happening to the graphics that we are taking for granted.
GPUs, originally designed for rendering highly
sophisticated video game graphics, can now be programmed to process information between 10 and 20 times faster than CPUs.
They were the makers of the Crysis series that up to this day, sets the benchmark
for video game graphic using there patented graphic engine, Crytek.
Inazawa: Before I joined Square, and ever since I had been
making video game graphics, Final Fantasy was one of those games I was always aware of.
But eventually,
video game graphics progressed to the stage where it was becoming increasingly costly to produce the required level of realism from traditional methods such as hand modeling heads from reference photos, especially for franchised games like sports sims, where it is important to have good likenesses of famous people in the game.
Umbra's technology distinguishes itself in how it can create these databases automatically, and this results in more efficiently processing of this data, which can ultimately be used to
improve video game graphics.
It's a technology, similar to OnLive, that
zaps video game graphics and sound into your home from servers faraway while you zap inputs from your game controller back up to those same servers.
But
now video game graphics are so realistic that improvements are going to have to be made more on game play and content.
A team of University of Illinois at Urbana — Champaign (U.I.U.C.) physicists has assembled a supercomputer consisting of several hundred superfast graphics processing units (GPUs)-- typically used for rendering highly
sophisticated video game graphics — that they think will help them build a simulation depicting how chromatophore proteins turn light energy into chemical energy, a process called photosynthesis.
It will be interesting to see where home gaming consoles will be headed after the eighth generation — just how much better can
video game graphics get, and how much higher will their production budgets rise?
Whenever I see an elaborate CGI production like this it just reassures me that there's still plenty of room
for video game graphics to improve before we get to the awkward photo - realistic phase.
The path
of video game graphics has helped pave the way for a wide variety of visual styles to be used in other areas as well, from mobile phone apps to movies and television and more.
From the 1980 ′ s
video game graphics to the trackball control this game takes you back in time. This game brings the old arcade feeling right to your Windows phone 7.
By providing solutions for the entire particle system effects pipeline, you save valuable production time and improve the quality of
your video game graphics, thanks to the use of sophisticated, advanced particle effects.
With today's rapid advances in technology,
video game graphics are getting more and more lifelike.
Through the years of brown and grey to the lens flares of yore,
video game graphics have gone from pixelated concepts of objects to uncanny valley micro-emotions.
Ruby's spray painted blocks and wall hangings seem to reference the aesthetic of these 90's
video game graphics that place the viewer in this familiar world where you're still a normal human, but, due to technological limitations, non-essential information, such as concrete walls, aren't highly rendered.
